Aslan Brewing
Pink Yoshi
💐 FRIDAY BEER RELEASE 🍾Pink Yoshi // Raspberry Berliner Weisse // 4.4% ABV // light body + raspberry + bubbly
For the second year in a row, we brewed this crushable treat for our good friends at @thelatonapub! This kettle sour brew was mashed with wheat and Pilsener malts from @skagitvalleymalting and fermented with our ale yeast on top of 500 lbs of fresh organic raspberries from @hedlinfamilyfarms. The final touch – Bottle and Keg conditioned with Champagne yeast to create an extra dry, bubbly, and intensely tart experience! Pink Yoshi 2019 👅is by far the sourest beer we have ever made 😱 think raspberry warhead…
Desolation Angels
🏔 Desolation Angels // Spritz Farmhouse Ale // 4.7% ABV // Light Body + Skagit Valley Raspberries + Earthy⠀
⠀
Every year we buy thousands of pounds of organic fruit from local farmers to use in various projects. Sometimes the spent fruit still has plenty of flavor to use for another beer. This time around, we had 500 lbs of raspberries to use as a secondary fermentation source — pulling out the last bits of fruit essence. ⠀
⠀
The base beer consists of flaked rye, soft white wheat, and a heavy dose of raw buckwheat — which leads a fantastic earthy, herbal tea, and almost honey-like complexity! The raspberry aspect is light, but perfectly balances buckwheat and Czech Premiant hops. All-around, this spritzy farmhouse ale shows plenty of youthfulness on the palate and great depth for a light-bodied beer.

Are You a Heather?
Cherry Saisoweizen (ABV 4.2%)! What the hell is a Saisoweizen you ask? Good question. It is a Saison mixed with a Hefeweizen fermented with Rainer cherries! 🍒 This beer has the classic hints of banana and clove but with a nice soft cherry dryness.
The Local Pub Ale on Nitro
English Style Best Bitter (ABV 4.4%)! This creamy malt forward beer is perfect for shifting into Fall. It has a nice caramel and toffee flavor that dark beer fans love but also a creamy mouth feel and finish!
